The gyroscope won't do anything for speed.
Stick with your Nexus S, there is no need to change your phone every 2 months.

Better suggestion, learn some damn grammar and punctuation. Reading posts like that makes me want to punch something.

Were you strapped into a moving gyroscope while typing that?
1. A gyroscope does absolutely nothing "for speeds"
2. All that new 3d future gaming you're going to be doing on your phone that doesn't come equipped with a 3d capable screen in the first place? Sure, that gyroscope will be holding you back from that...
Sounds like someone was trying to make it sound like their nexus s is still top dog on the phone market. Sorry, it may have gingerbread, but its not anymore.

The lack of punctuation makes my eyes burn.

Topics with titles that don't cover it make me waste my time replying to it.

Uhh No if I want the atrix I will buy it and with a 2789 quadrant im happy with my nexus s good luck on updates.

Doesn't your Nexus S keyboard have any punctuation keys?

Buy a gaming system if you want games, games on cell phones these days are a bit ridiculous. Anything I am going to spend more than 10 minutes playing gets its own device, really how many types of games can you play well with only a touchscreen and gyro for input?

^Exactly.

None of the benchmark apps are multi-thread.
In before benchmarks are full of **** and never really show the true processing capability of the phone they are testing.

Ok - from a phone perspective, what's the difference between a "gyroscope" (which the Atrix does not have), and an accelerometer (which the Atrix does have)?

Again, what is it that you think this phone is missing? I don't remember any of the phones being advertised with a gyroscope!?

So ones u get your galaxy nexus what well u use your nexus s for

Keep it for a strictly gaming device testing device rooting device
What will u use your nexus s for when u upgrade

Better check your thread title again. Not very suggestive .
I'll probably hand it to over to my wife, or sell it. I'll see when I get to it.

I'd probably install a remedial spelling and grammar instructional tool on the Nexus S.

Why would you even keep it? I'll sell it. The wife has a GSII so she wouldn't want it.

Here is a better title:
"Got a Galaxy Nexus? What to do with old Nexus S?"
Or, if you wanted to fix your original:
"Once you get your galaxy nexus, what will you use your nexus s for?"
Not that hard...

Deciding what to do with your old phone is the least of your problems.

So I'm not the only one who thought of this. I have my old Nexus One in a cabinet and intentionally gave it a bad rom flash so it just replays the nexus boot animation forever. It's quite awesome to me and the S will join it when I get my galaxy nexus.

Long live the NX! This baby will never leave me it is too amazing to toss the Galaxy Nexus got nothing on it!
My opinion is greatly influenced by the fact that I cannot afford the Galaxy Nexus after just buying the Nexus S and denial. (I would totally ditch the NX for GN and keep the Nexus as a trophy on my wall for the "memories" we share).
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I got to play with a Galaxy Nexus for the first time a few days ago, and I have to say I think I prefer to keep my Nexus S. I don't really need dual-core power, and although the phone isn't strictly speaking too big for me, I found the form factor uncomfortable to hold. I'm also still not really sold on the software buttons; they have potential but they just seem clumsy at the moment.
Granted, the screen is gorgeous, I like the notification LED, and there are times I feel tempted to switch for the extra RAM alone, but all things considered I honestly believe the NS is a superior everyday device. In any case, for the price tag the GN would really have to wow me, and it just didn't.
If I were buying a new phone today and had the GN and NS side by side, I'd be torn. Since I already have the NS though, I just don't feel compelled to switch. Maybe once the price comes down a bit, the software goes through a couple upgrades and they release a nice big extended battery to fatten it up a bit in the palm.

I'll probably give my Nexus S to my cousin, who's rocking a blackberry at the moment.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Will hand it to my cousin bro. I am not one bit emotional with material stuff.

I sell it to my younger brother or keep it as a backup.
EDIT: I'm not gonna get the GNex, but I'll wait for the next Google phone. It probably has quad-core CPU or something. I just don't have enough money for it.

Please enter a valid message

Either give it to my mom if she wants it, keep it or sell it back to best buy buy back program & get the galaxy nexus even cheaper!!

[Q] Missed Nexus 4 in Canada again! What should I do?

OK so I was at work and missed the chance to get the nexus 4 again! Supposedly gonna take 7-8 weeks now to ship according to mobilesyrup. NOw if I do get the chance to get the Nexus 4 again in a couple weeks, I will recieve it in March or Feb. My question is that is it worth it to get a November phone in Feb? Now I have a **** lg xenon and gossip which I could last out till next year for the Nexus 5, or I might get the s4. Should I wait?
What is expected from Nexus 5 and S4
-1080p screen
-10-12mp camera
-2ghz processor estimate
-2gb ram or maybe 2.5-3gb
-5inch screen
-Quad core maybe more?
Overall I think the smartphone as we know it is going through a transition phase so should I wait? I don't have enough money to get a new phone every year like some people. I buy a phone for 2-3 years. Will I be stuck with old technology with this phone?
-WHAT THE FUUDGE SHOULD I DOOO????

Mod please move to q&a if you think that is were it should be!

You're asking us for advice to speculate on a phone that is unreleased (better yet, a year away)?
Yes, get the Nexus 5. Historically, a newer Nexus is better than an older Nexus. Might need confirmation on that though.

Only you can answer the question of whether you should wait. In Feb the nexus 4 will still be a great phone. Is only 3 months old on 2/13. You seem to think your current phone will last to next November for nexus 5. If you think that just wait.
In the end you have to use the device, no one can tell you what to like or what works for you. My wife thinks I'm insane buying a new phone every year. I don't, I like upgrading to the new nexus or whatever the new stock android experience is. Been that way since g1. Just what I like. Others will say go buy a note 2. Since this is the nexus forum you'll find no shortage of posts about how great the nexus 4 is.
Oh, please stop bumping the thread, it's annoying.

Buy nexus 4 or wait for the new google X phone?

Been trying to decide if i want to get the new nexus 4 ( LOOKS AMAZING!) or wait for the X phone that was just announced. I've heard some bad things about the nexus 4 which is making me hesitant. What are your thoughts? I'M still rocking the G2 from way back so im pretty due for a new phone!

Guess it depends on how long you want to wait for the x phone. Its gonna be awhile.

One exists, the other is a rumor.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

It was more of a rumor than an announcement, and i wouldn't expect it to come out any time soon.

Like I'll tell anyone, if you keep on waiting for the next big thing, you'll wait forever.
The answer is simple by answering this question. Does the desire for the nexus 4 outweigh the usefulness of your current phone?
For me, it was a no-brainer. I was not happy with my vivid stock, I did not care for the bugginess (<--- is that even a word?) of the available Roms, but loved aosp.
If you feel you'll be happy with your current phone, then wait until a phone comes out that you must have.

The phone probably won't be out till summer most likely. Then the next nexus will be around the corner. Great hardware or not I don't know if I'd even get one if it doesn't have direct from Google software updates. Don't care if its a different branch than the nexus line... It has to be straight from Google or its no better or worse than the galaxy line from Samsung or the one series from HTC.

Live in the moment. When the next phone comes out, will your next thread be. Get the moto X or the next? Just get it. But then again, good luck trying to get one because they're all sold out

Thats what im thinking. Ive been babying my G2 so its lasted me a lot longer than others ( the whole loose hinge shenanigans). My phone is still serving its purpose but at the same time i know it wont last that much longer. N4 seems like an awesome device with a few quirks. For those that have the N4 can you tell me what you both like AND dislike about the phone. Want to start weighing the pros and cons.

I love absolutely everything about the phone. Only thing I don't like is the limit on memory (I have the 16GB). It'st he first phone I've owned that has yet to experience any lag or slowdown whatsoever.

I would personally go for Nexus 4 because
1. The x phone is just a rumor and hasn't even been announced
2. If it is going to be sold by Motorola who makes money off the hardware, then the x phone will be more expensive than Nexus 4 by Google who makes money off by software (which explains the price of Nexus 4)

Go to any forum of any device and you will always read a lot of "bad things". There is no perfect phone and people tend to exaggerate their problems. Ultimately, it is you who has to decide if this is the right phone for you.
Oh, and don't play the waiting game. When the new phone arrives, there will be rumours of the next, better one. What then?

[Q] Next Nexus

As I continue to read new about the upcoming google device, I cannot help but wonder if it will manifest. Many people are pointing to a Motorola x phone. However, I have waited my time for this new device and more importantly a newer version of Android OS. I would like to know all of your opinions on this topic. I really want a Nexus 5 made by HTC, but that is just a wish. Please let me know what you believe will happen along with your dream phone.
Enjoy,

Personally I would like to see a Sony Nexus 5. Look at the build quality of the Xperia Z Ultra, the big-a** phone. It looks great and is thin as all hell. Their too invested into the Xperia name to do so. And I'm not sure how Google feels about Phablets but I'd like to see a Nexus Phablet. A 5.5-6 inch screen running pure Android with a almost 2GHz processor, smoothly flowing thanks to (wait for it...) 3(!) GB of RAM. No, no, no I mean 2GB of RAM. I would like to see a HTC Nexus though.
How about an Apple made Nexus?...

If you guys just put two and two together.... in december when they have historically released their phones for the past like 3 or 4 years in a row.... we will probably see a 4.7-5inch phone made by Motorola which google just acquired, with either the sapdragon 600 or the samsung exnos 5 octa ... and at least 2 gb of ram.. Its not hard to put some pieces together.

Granted G1 was not called a nexus device but it did come with stock Android and close collaboration between Google and HTC.
